Adhesive for foams?

[GSmith]

A recent purchase had a bit of a tear with the foam insert. I was wondering if anyone has managed a good repair of these or could suggest what adhesive would work best?

Thanks!

Probably go for tape first......

but I do believe they use this stuff on wet-suits.

 I think you may be right just to keep It simple and just stick with gaffer tape.

I used contact adhesive when I got new foam for my eyepiece case worked a treat.

I bought some closed cell sheet foam from a company to make a dob. shroud and dew shields, and the company I got it off (who sell all kinds of packaging acoustic & upholstery foam) sell this stuff to glue it https://www.efoam.co.uk/foam-spray-adhesive.php

I didn't buy any though, as I only wanted to stick a small area , for which a spray can seemed a bit OTT.I didn't buy any, but tested every kind of glue I had lying around already, and a few types of gaffer tape too. To my surprise the only glue that worked was hot melt glue gun stuff,  it didn't melt the foam as I expected it to .

The cheap silver gaffer tape (aka duct tape) I had didn't stick for long, carpet tape did reasonably well,  3m gaffer tape did better, but the best was gorilla brand duct tape.
